Colossians 2:6

Read in context

Colossians 2:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 I say this so that no one will deceive you by smooth rhetoric.

5 For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.

6 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,

7 rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.
